Forefront of Research
Increased drug and technology trials and the number of specialists involved in research are just a few of the many advantages of being at the heart of Tampa Bay’s medical hub.  While the Dr. Kirin C. Patel Research Institute is firmly focused on cardiovascular research, the Institute has also explored the areas of infectious disease, orthopaedics, and oncology. 
 
The Research Institute is involved in numerous clinical trials in the areas of coronary stents, bypass surgery, atrial fibrillation, heart failure, myocardial infarction, and cholesterol lowering medication.
